Replying To LongfordgaaAbú:  "New season and same whining that an opinion expressed on an open forum is somehow "taking a club down by talking them up" from you. Calm down."
That is exactly what you are doing. Plain as day. The last three years you have been posting the same thing. We beat Mullinalaghta a couple of years ago and the "future is green". We should be up there and one of the favourites but declaring a clean sweep of titles already when no team has played each other near full strength is silly.

Some mega wins clocked up by the leaders in divisions 1 and 2. Both unbeaten at the halfway mark.

Division 1:
Clonguish 6-13 (31)
Granard 1-7 (10)

Division 2:
Grattens 6-16 (34)
Connollys 1-6 (9)

If the county team don't qualify from the group in Tailteann, the county lads will be back for the last 2 rounds for division 1 and last 3 rounds for division 2.

On results so far, you'd have to strongly fancy each to finish top.

What has happened to the state of football in the county, we are well on the way to being a divison 4 team and tailtean cup regulars for a long long time unless something changes. We over the past 15 years have had some good underage teams. 3 minor finals in leinster in this time, winning 2. Louth in the senior leinster final tomorrow have been in 1. We seemed to start to go downhill rapidly after padric davis time finished. Bad management selection by those involved in the selection processes since. We won the leinster minor last year but will these players be properly looked after? Talent has never been an issue in our county, we have a small population which doesnt help when players opt out but there are lots of other factors. Have never seen as little intrest in the county team before and personally county board have only themselves to blame, look after themselves and has always been the way. Its a sad state of affairs.

It has been quite some time since longford were this bad. The level of disinterest is at an all time low. Even the players are not interested. Next year will be ever bit as difficult.
